1Judge me, O ⁸⁰God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation; deliver me from the deceitful and unrighteous man.

2For thou art the ⁸¹God of my strength: why hast thou cast me off? why go I about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3Send out thy light and thy truth: they shall lead me, they shall bring me to thy holy mount, and unto thy habitations.

4Then will I go unto the altar of ⁸²God, unto the ⁸³God of the gladness of my joy: yea, upon the harp will I praise thee, O ⁸⁴God, my ⁸⁵God.

5Why art thou cast down, my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in ⁸⁶God; for I shall yet praise him, [who is] the health of my countenance, and my ⁸⁷God.
